The “Honeybee” singer said he and his fellow judges -- Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine and Cee Lo Green -- are being forced to choose between touring and making music, and staying on the show as “The Voice” execs have decided to go forward with back-to-back seasons.

“It’s their decision (for us to leave), in that they’re the ones choosing to do back-to-back seasons,” he explained. “They really leave us no other option. As far as Christina and Adam and Cee Lo and I — if we want to tour, there’s not a chance of that doing back-to-back seasons. That’s not acceptable to me.”
